For the second consecutive week, I am featuring a flooring product as my #FFFFind. Coincidence? Not a chance. I’m locking in final flooring decisions on our home renovation right now, so what’s underfoot is currently on the brain. Today I thought I’d share a find I’ve used in a recent project, and will be using…

I have long had a love-hate relationship with sisal. Love: Look Texture Layers beautifully Natural Don’t Love: Stains Like, don’t even bother trying to clean it…it’s never coming out I’ve used sisal very infrequently for this reason, and haven’t used it at all in the past few years.

At the risk of beating a horse that is no longer among the living, things are really starting to accelerate around here. Good golly, I can’t even walk out the door without someone pulling me back into the construction zone for ‘just a few quick questions.’ And it’s always when I’m about to walk out…

I’m sure I’m not the only one among us in the trenches with small children who are, well, not the most reliable hand washers. Every time I am in there with them showing them how to do a thorough job, literally all I can think about is how dirty my hands will be again as…

Those of you who follow me on Instagram may have seen my Stories yesterday, and some issues that have creeped up over the past several days. I don’t want to dwell on that right now, though. Instead, I’m going to talk about an area that’s actually, thus far (knock on a 2×4, I’ve got lots…)…

This past Tuesday, I attended a networking event with New England Home magazine, hosted by Marvin at their fabulous window and door showroom at the newish 7 Tide building near the Boston Design Center. Yes, it actually is fabulous – very design-oriented and high-tech, as well. Highly recommended for designers, architects, builders, and anyone building,…
